How would you travel there and how long would it take? What can you learn about the people, language, money, lifestyle, famous landmarks, things to do. How is it the same or different to Great Britain?

Art Inspiration

Here are some photos of the amazing work James and Joshua have been doing in school this week with Mrs Swash. They got inspiration from Claude Monet's Water Lilies and I think you'll agree they've done a great job, they used different media to create these, can you spot what they used?

Where are you Derwent Class ?


Hi Derwent, I haven't had many emails this week or last, I would love to see what you are doing and have a photo to put on the blog so your friends can see too. 



I have been in school as usual but I am also really enjoying having football to watch again. I am a Leeds United fan. Our first match didn't go so well but then we won our second match. So I'm really excited to see what happens in the rest of the season. Also, I have just booked a few days away in the Lakes in the Summer Holidays so I've got something lovely to look forward to. I'd love to hear what you've got planned for the Summer Holidays
Get in touch soon, Mrs Burton

Weekly Wider Curriculum Tasks

Geography - Which animals can you find in hot or cold countries? Use this hot and cold animals mat to help you discuss this. Why might those animals live in hot or cold countries? Discuss and research as needed. Once the children feel confident ask them to do this sorting activity


Science - The Environment  - This links well with Geography too. You are going to learn all about Rainforests and after reading the Forest Friends PowerPoint, I would like you to think of 3 questions you have about what you have read and then try and find the answers

DT - Skills - Before you make your product you need to practice the skills you will need to make it so that you can do the best job possible
1)Think about how you are going to stick things together? Glue? Tape? Blu-tac? Staples? Have a try at sticking 2 materials together using different sticky things. Which works best? Which will you use when you make your product? 
2)How is your cutting? Have a try. Try cutting out some pictures or ask someone to draw some straight and wavy lines and see if you can follow the lines with your scissors.

French
This is your chance to recap the colour names and talk to people at home about colours. Here is a song to help you remember how to say some of them

Story: Following a three-month closure period, Chester Zoo and many other zoos have been allowed to reopen.
